Summary

A routine electrical inspection highlighted several issues that needed to be resolved to bring the property up to current safety standards. The project involved removing outdated wiring and equipment, upgrading the consumer unit, and improving earthing and circuit protection throughout the home.

The Work

Removed and secured redundant wiring and equipment from the cupboard
Upgraded the old fuse board to an 11-way RCBO consumer unit with surge protection in a fire-rated enclosure
Installed new earth bonding to the water stopcock and secured gas bonding to the wall
Disconnected and made safe a redundant shower circuit
Split combined radial circuits for separate coverage of ground and first floor sockets
Investigated and repaired insulation resistance on the kitchen socket circuit
Replaced bathroom light with an IP-rated fitting and partially rewired lighting circuits for improved safety
Provided an electrical installation certificate after completion

The Outcome

The electrical system is now safer and meets current standards, with better circuit separation and protection throughout the property. All remedial work was completed as required, and the homeowner received updated certification for peace of mind.
